<p>You’ve got a good shot at Mount Holyoke, as they are test optional. Your curriculum is rigorous enough for all of the the colleges you’re looking at, but I don’t know how your SAT scores stack up against those of other international students. They are lower than the range given for those schools, but it seems to me the Ad Coms would cut non-native speakers of English some slack, and if your essays are good, you probably have a fair chance. You should have a safety school on your list though, and you don’t.</p>

<p>If you like women’s colleges, try Simmons in Boston.</p>

<p>Oh thank you for your opinion. My safety schools are actually Boston University, Bentley and Northeastern.
It seems too late for me to try harder for SAT. I spent too much time on sport and school work. Now my sat score is not so good. Just hope that i can get into wellesley.</p>

<p>Hi! I think you’ll do a great job in Bryn Mawr or Mount Holyoke.
I’m also an Asian student, but my high school’s instruction language is still our native language. We don’t got AP or IB either, so good for you! XD
Quite impressive activities. I believe you’ll be offered by your first choice.
BTW, I suggest that you should think twice on Barnard. It really emphasizes much on SAT according to the previous reports in my area. A friend of mine got rejected in Early Decision (she got 2010 in SAT).</p>

<p>I hope it helps. : )</p>
